A WOMAN aged in her 80s has died from injuries sustained in a collision in Co. Donegal over the weekend.

Elizabeth Cave, of St Ernen's in Donegal Town, died yesterday afternoon in Sligo University Hospital, her family has confirmed.

She was left in a serious condition following a collision on the N56 in Inver, which occurred at around 9am on Sunday, August 25.

Ms Cave was taken to hospital for treatment of her injuries, while a man in his 50s and a woman in her 40s, who were also injured in the two-vehicle collision, were taken to Letterkenny University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

She died in hospital on August 28 “following injuries sustained in a tragic accident at Inver last Sunday” her family confirmed in a statement.
